A Prohibitionist,s Troubles.

Another sensation is caused in the war
upon the saloons. NJ. II. Smith, we'll
to do farmer living near LeMars, has been
enthusiastic in the cause of prohibition,
and has employed men to visit saloons
gather information by buying drinks.
Lately he has been personally at work
in this county. A number Of cases
have been brought against saloons i'll this
county. The two Oakland justices
seem to be having most of the cases, and
are reaping harvest of fees. Fifteen
cases man we're samed brought fMeesers's ssa'nsii Of
temperance billiard hall. Smith was the
only witness against him, and swore that
he drank beer in his place. Meggers
claimed that it was mineral water, and
other witnesses testified that they had
tried to get beer there but couldn't.
Attorney Converse appeared as he
claimed in behalf of Colonel Daily. the
county attorney, and prosecuted the case.
Fremont BENJAMIN was the attorney tor
the defendant. Meggers was convicted
by iH'ryy 'ayy and fined $780, from which he
Yesterday Smith came to Avoca, and
was at once arrested on the charge OF
having perjured himself in the trial
at Oakland, Meggers filing the informa.
ton Smith waived examination. and was
put under $1,000 bonds. The officers
brought him to this city and lodged him
in jail. A bond was approved last even
ing, and as Smith was released from
iail Deputy Sheriff O'Neill served anoth-
or warrant on him for assault and battery
and again locked him up. The warrant
was issued by an AvOca justice. 1t being
Saturday night the deputy sheriff insisted
that he could not take him out to Avoca
until Monday. and that In the mean
time no would have to remain in Jail. II
seems like q well laid scheme to give
Smith smell of the Jail into which he is
zealo,sly pushing others. The treatment
of Smith aroused great indignation
among the prohibit,onists. and they has
tened to get bonds arranged for smith
| release.
As q side show OF tho Smith sffail
another case has started up. w. H. Shill

Another New Church.

The contract for the new German Cath
olic church is 10 be let tomorrow. The
building is to be 47x1O6 feet, of brick. and
of Gothic architecture. The church. while
not one of the largest, will be one of the
handsomest in the city. The location is
on the corner OF Pierce and Bluff streets,
the ground having frontage of 1875 feet
on each street. The property was bought
of Capt. L. Kirscht, who sold the society
the lots for 81, 100 each, and donated one
half lot, there being two and half lots
in the piece. 1t is expected that the
church will be ready for occupancy by
Christmas. The ladies of the church
have the honor of being the orginators
of this enterprise. and Its success will be
due largely to their efforts. A long time
ago they began giving socials, and In other
ways securing small sums of money, the
start seeming to be an almost hopeless one,
but yet the faith of the women, with her
true devotion, never tagged during all
the discouragements. From these Titles
fund of about eight hundred dollars
was raised. When Bishop Cosgrove was
here to lay the corner stone of the new
st. Xavier's church, q separation was
made between the two natiOnalitles, and
the German Catholic church was organ
lied. Father Wesselng has been called
the char of Greek and literature in the
ST. Bcnedlct's college in Atchison, Kas.
He has been here but little over q month,
but rapid progress has been made. The
bishop donated $1,000 from the proceeds
of the sale of the Catholic property here,
provided the members would raise an
equal amount for the building. Already
there has been secured from scventy.iive
families of the church $4,000, and there
seems no reason why the work cannot
be pushed forward to q speedy and sue
cesstul completion. The German Catho-
lies are quite enthuiastic, and are giving
generously, and others will help them
gladly in securing this new place of wor
ship, which will be of public benefit.
There is much praise TO be given to the
ladies, who when others saw no hope per-
sisted so nobly in their efforts to get the
starting fund.
tits not the first instance in the history
of the city, in which the women We're the
originators of worthy enterprises. Those
who know the history of the beautiful
ST. Paul's church. in which the city takes
such pride, need not be told that ii ii had
not been for the work of women, their
devotion and faith, that elegant house of
worship would not now be standing.

ing Of Avoca, in talking to Smith waxed
very warm, and perhaps INDUCED his
tongue little too freely IN abusing Smith
before crowd. Smith has commenced q
slander suit against Shilling fixing dam
ages at $4,000.
At 10 O'Clock last night Smith was
brought up from jail to Sims law office
by Deputy Sheriff VNsll, whils.a hack
was sent after Judge Carson. The pro-
hibitonists present were l.. w. Tulleys,

bond of Smith was fixed by Judge Car

some trouble, and while in another

dence that he formed any intent in this
county to dispose of the property, and
that If he did this in another county, he
should be tried in that county, and not in
this. The attorneys are splitting some
fine hairs trying to settle the case.
The sheriff has concluded the inventory
OF the furniture of the Ogden house, and

the city. Others claim that as the lease
does not expire until August 1, 1888, he

The feeling is general that the Ogden
will be speedily reopened, and that all

Showing the Queer.

Last night man giving his name as
Rugger Sittimorc, was arrested for pass
ing counterfeit silver dollars on Main
street.
His method was to enter a store and
ask for scent cigar and lay down n
silver dollar. After visiting the candy
and cigar store at No. 104 Main street he
went into Shepard's drug store
and then to McAtee's grocery.
At McAtee's they discovered the
money to be counterfeit and John Mul.
queen, who is a clerk there, went in
search of the man. He found him III
Throll Il Kracht's grocery, corner Of
Seventh avenue, and held him until the
arrival OF the police.
On reaching the Jail nearly 50 in
change was found upon the prisoner be.
sides couple of counterfeit. dollars. He
Is apparently an Italian.
The milling and date, 1886, of the coin
are blurred, the rest of the die being well
defined. 1t has an oily feeling, rings
we'll, and is very liable to deceive, al
though of light weight. He claims he
had a s. bill, and conductor of street
car gave HIM these dollars in change.

The County Buys a Farm.

The county board Of supervisors yes
terday purchased a good farm for a poor
farm. The three members from the east
part OF the county have been quite anx.
ious to locate the farm near Nicola, while
the two others have preferred 10 have
farm near Council Bluffs. There were
many reasons why the farm should be
be located near here, but the majority Of
the board was against it, and hence the
purchase was made. The farm thus
bought 10 known as the Leonard place,
consisting of 100 acres, and the price paid
IL t33 an aero. Possession cannotbe had
until next March, unless some arrange.
ment 10 made with the man who has
leased il. The old poor farm was sold
BY the county for about ten thousand
dollars.
Supervisors Underwood and Waite
were chosen as committee to sectionize
the old channel of the Boyer in Crescent
township, and have the old bod OF Honey
Creek lake and other lands surveyed.
The board after the transaction of some
other routine business adjourned.

The Jones Casc.

Judge Carson listened patiently yester
day to lengthy arguments on the motion
for new trial in the case of Jonathan
Jones. The case is taken under advise
ment. Colonel Scott. of Omaha, appeared
for Jones, and made one of his telling
speeches, covering the dry bones of logic
and law with rNddy, pleasing, healthy
flesh. He is one Of the few men that can
argue amotion before court in SO inter-
esting manner rs to cause
outsiders to wait to hear him through,
and yet not weaken his argument
by n waste of rhetoric or flourishes. One
of the grounds on which the motion for a
new trial is based, is that of newly discov-
cred evidence. Jones' attorneys claim
that on account of the mental imbeclity
of Jones, they were able to get few sug-
gustions ald little information from him.
They now learn that his father. now dead,
was insane for five years before his death,
and that cousin has been insane for ten
years. In new trial, with this evidence
before a jury, the claim of insanity might
be viewed entirely different.

KIND WORDS FOR THE GOLD LEAF
Mr.. James II. Enniss, the venerable ed
itor of the North Carolina Fdrmer, and
publisher of Turner's North Carolina Al
manac, wrote us personal letter recently

terms of the GOLD LEAF that we take the
liberty to publish the following, although
his communication was purely of private
nature. He says:

tanning a notice of my address by friend

ments are better than my address and

words from such q source are TO be appre
ciated. We suppose Mr.. Enniss had not
seen . copy Of the GOLD LEAF before. tye
do not exchange With him) nor Is he per
sonally acquainted with the editor. and
when he takes occasion to say what be
does, we must put il upon the merit OF the
paper alone and not upon the grounds OF
personal friendship. And this makes his
kind words all the more to be appreciated

A WRONG SUPPosITIoN.-The appeared
in the press dispatches of the daily papers
last Saturday news item stating that the
Richmond Paper Co. of Providence, Rhode
Island, had failed. By some persons this
company has been COMPOUNDED with the
Richmond Paper Manufacturing Co., of
Richmond, Va. The two concerns were in
no way connected, and we are assured by
Mr.. A. II. Christian, Jr., Secretary and
Manager of the Richmond Paper Manufac-
turing Company, that his company was
never stronger financially, or in better
shape to fill all orders entrusted to them
promptly and satisfactorily. The GOLD
LEAF takes pleasure in making this state
ment. We have been doing business with
this concern for some time and have always
found it prompt and correct in its business
transactions. Its prices compare favorably
with paper manufacturers anywhere, while
the advantage in freight rates from Rich
mond is an important item Of itself.
